Here’s what you and your young astronomer will discover about these incredible phenomena:
 
 
• Black holes are spots in space with gravity so strong that not even light can escape.
 
• They are not native to one place but can form anywhere when a giant star collapses.
• The "event horizon" is the invisible boundary around a black hole, which is the point of no return.
• A supermassive black hole lives at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy and helps hold it together.
• They are not cosmic vacuum cleaners and will only pull in things that get very, very close.
 
A wonderful gift for curious minds, this placemat is both practical and inspiring, bringing the wonders of the universe right to your kitchen table.
